Charles Proxy And Interceptor Are Not Tracking Any Http Request In Ubuntu

I can't seem to get any activity showing on anything relating to HTTP/proxy requests in Ubuntu. I downloaded Charles Proxy first, opened it, but shows nothing. Then I tried Interce

Solution 1:

You have to configure Chrome (or whatever the browser you use) to use the Charles Proxy's proxy (as far as I remember: localhost:8888). As this proxy is only running when you have CharlesProxy opened, you probably won't want to define it system wide.

The best option is to use a proxy switch browser extension, such as Switchy Omega (chrome extension) to be able to rapidly toggle on/off the proxy used by the browser.
